Attended a Biker Down course run by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue today. Some of it I did know, a lot of it I did not and finally someone explained why current thinking now recommends removing the helmet of an injured rider and showed us how to do it safely. If I never have to put in to practice what I learned today, I'll be extremely grateful. However if I do, hopefully what I have learned will help prolong the life of an injured rider until the professionals arrive. I can highly recommend this free course to any rider. Luxury Mac & Cheese, a side of crispy coated onion rings and several beers whilst sitting on the sofa with Carole catching up on BSB and MotoGP to round off the day. Andy
Today I spent my Saturday at a bike rally in Netherseal with our Help for Heroes stand.......it was shit,sold fuck all and realised that when I was doing rallies in my misspent youth the age of the people were a lot different than they are now.....The average age must've been 55,it was like a Ducati Forum get together
Yes, agree! Also we camped at rallies and were lucky if there was a long drop toilet and a cold tap. The last rally we almost went to we were asked which hotel we had booked into!!
Been trying to work out my mother in law, Monday 3 bottles of wine and then Friday 1 bottle for an 84 year old she knocks it back, four bottles that i know of in 1 week
Most of today I spent playing with my two grandsons before they went to a birthday in Sheffield. I'm now in Northampton in a travelodge in readiness for silverstone tomorrow.
I went to a distant mate's wedding today and I whispered to a bloke next to me "The bride's no oil painting is she?" "Do you mind? That's my niece you're talking about" "I'm really sorry, I didn't know you were her uncle" "I'm not, I'm her aunt you cheeky cunt "
My mums 85 drinks at least a 1 bottle white a day and one cup of coffee in the morning - then says she's done well because she's also drunk 1/2 glass water She's been that way for years bless her !
Saw this today in Bordeaux, apparently you can hire it for £940,000 per week! belongs to Fulham FC owner, its called Kismet. Needs an income to pay for his players I guess, although he is quite loaded so probably not.
I was wandering around a carnival in Leeds this morning and happened to see a fortune-teller’s tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, I went inside and sat down. “Ah...” said the woman as she gazed into her crystal ball. “I see you are the father of two children.” “That’s what you think,” I said scornfully. “Actually, I’m the father of THREE children.” “That’s what YOU think!" she replied
Took my 4 year old son to a skate park early this morning when it was empty.. Meeting my mate, who works for RB for lunch today, will see if they need any new athletes, NOT!...
Finished my garage (shed) roof before the rain comes. Just the caps to put on the bolt heads and the guttering to re fix, but that can wait, maybe until next weekend...
